That’s right. I’ve just came across a survey saying that most of the people are not gettng what they ‘want’ for Christmas. Seems like presents-giving are gradually turning into fulfilling somebody’s needs, and a headache for the giver for fear their present would not meet the ’standard’ of another. Since when it’s about ‘GETTING WHAT I WANT’? It’s a season of giving, to show appreciation, and most of all, the spreading of love and joy that we’ve been blessed from above. As long it’s from the heart, a simple gift or even a link, is good enough to put a smile on someone’s face. Thanks Jen, it’s a good comment for us to ponder. =)

It’s funny, sometimes the gifts that we intend to convey our caring for someone… don’t work out that way. If one person can afford to give more than the other, it can be particularly difficult. Where’s the spirit of the season in spreading guilt and spending money?! DJ and I have worked out a way around this. All through the year, whenever each of us finds something interesting or beautiful or otherwise “perfect” for the other — or, on the contrary, something so horrible that it’s almost a gift *not* to give it — we email each other a link. That’s all. No money is spent, no gifts change hands. But the thought is there, and we share the pleasure of the *intention* of the gift. A bit nuts, maybe, but it means the sky’s the limit for what we can *give* each other — and the real gift is the sharing of this game.
